SEATTLE – As dreaded as “Thursday Night Football” games are for quick turnarounds, the 49ers used their turn to showcase why they own the NFL’s No. 1 defense — and the NFC West title.
The 49ers’ defense wilted a bit in the closing minutes, allowing a 10-yard touchdown pass on a busted coverage with 3:35 remaining. Of course it wouldn’t be a cake walk, not when the 49ers had won only five times in their previous 21 games since Seattle opened this raucous venue in 2002. Purdy was 17-of-26 for 217 yards, and, for a second straight start, two touchdowns and no interceptions. His legs helped ice the win: On third-and-1, he dashed toward the sideline and slid for a first down, with 2:16 left to kill the clock. Jordan Mason closed things, with a 55-yard run to the 1, then a kneel down
Once Jimmie Ward wrapped up Travis Homer on a short catch, Greenlaw arrived on the scene and slammed his right shoulder into Homer. The ball popped free, Ward collected it and dashed to the 5-yard line. The 49ers parlayed that turnover into a McCaffrey touchdown, which came on a 1-yard run through a path cleared by linemen Trent Williams and Aaron Banks, with assists to Jake Brendel and Spencer Burford.
